This Extremely rare electrum stater appears to represent a previously unknown variety of the unique stater that once belonged to the

famous Pozzi collection (Pozzi 2316; Morton & Eden 68, 21). While the new piece features a similar ram’s head on the obverse and

similar reverse punch configuration, the obverse die and the punches are not identical with those used to produce the Pozzi coin.

An intriguing early electrum coin.
